The German capital of Berlin today witnessed a meeting on the problem
of criminally involved young asylum seekers, many of whom entered
Germany as unaccompanied minors. Not only are the refugees committing
acts of violence, but they traffic drugs and steal as well. Some
migrants even sexually assault women “because, as a refugee, it’s hard to find a girlfriend,” or so they state in court.
Earlier police statistics had proved that Tunisians, Libyans,
Moroccans, and Egyptians are among the most common perpetrators of
violent street crimes. These often are, most cowardly, directed at
members of ‘the weaker sex’. “The number of Arabic-speaking perpetrators is increasing rapidly,” the police had then said while pointing at the worrying trend that:

“boundaries between theft, robbery, personal violence and sexual abuse have become fluid.”

With Kottbusser Tor, a Berlin neighbourhood, and other parts
of Berlin turning into virtual no-go zones, at least for girls and
women, even the left-wing politicians dominating the city are now
spurred into action. The socialist SPD, together with the Green party,
Berlin residents, and district authorities, this Friday decided on
allocating 1 million euros extra on the problem, Der Tagesspiegel reports.
As a whole, including the ones who are not criminally involved, there
are some 2,700 unaccompanied underage refugees in Berlin, already
costing 100 to 200 million euros a year (on average, that comes down to
an annual 55,000 euros per individual).
According to SPD senator Sandra Scheeres, who is responsible for
Berlin’s minor asylum seekers, the city’s regular social services are no
longer suited to deal with some of the minor refugees. Her plans in
part consist of strengthening public institutions who have to cope with
the, often criminal, migrants. The proposal is supported by Monika
Herrmann (Greens), who is the district mayor of
Kreuzberg-Friedrichshain.
In an open letter, shopkeepers from Kottbusser Tor had
earlier complained about the situation of lawlessness, that is partly
caused by the unaccompanied youths, while at the same time reprimanding
politically correct leftist activists and legislators:

“Inside these people exists a false fear that
mentioning the situation could increase racism while, in fact,
concealment and the hushing up of things cause all kind of suspicions.”

Recent casesYesterday,
charges were pressed against a gang of Syrians and Libyans who, on
Christmas eve, had tried to light a homeless man on fire in Berlin’s
subway, a case that had shocked Germany.
About one month ago another newcomer, this time the young Pakistani asylum seeker Asif M.,
had to explain his actions in court, where he appeared on charges of
raping one woman and the attempted rape of five others in the
Berlin-Steglitz precinct. The 26-year-old justified his deeds by stating
that:
